MIAMI — As the calendar turns to December in the coming days, the mission for these Dolphins is simple: sweep the hapless Jets (and win at least two other games) and close the season strong.

Beating the 2-9 Jets twice over the next five weeks (including Monday in New Jersey) shouldn't be too much to ask, considering New York has been outscored 303-177, ranks last in the league in passing, has the NFL's fewest takeaways (seven), and has allowed more points than any team except Jacksonville while scoring fewer than any except the Raiders and Jaguars.

But there are areas of concern for the Dolphins, starting with their precarious predicament at cornerback.
